your telling me..thing is i love being with her and its tough cos shes so young and needy...

Waited till mine was a year old before being able to train again - I'm sure it can be done just fine but i was struggling enough with work and other crap at the time so went for the "continue to be a beanpole" solution

I had a 2 year break from training when my son arrived.

It wasn't just the time etc, it was more financially for me.

What he said.

My daughters are 7 & 4 though and i train at work through my lunch break so as not to impeade on my time with my family..,

Work in London so lots of gyms to train at lunchtime.
I have a little girl of 2 and the missus is 16wks with our second child.
I will continue going the gym.

yeh im now gna have to start to tailor my sesssions at lunch time... seems a common trend...

I see you back Dutch, and with big changes. nice one!

I'm too heading in this direction cause after April my wife to be WANTS a kid and maintaining gym has always been a big concern. I'm either going to have to gym at lunch time or late at night. I prefer gyming around 9pm but who knows what my situation will be like in a year or so from now.

I stopped going when my daughter was born so I could help out etc, as a result i fell out of love with the gym and never went back for 6 years.

My missus is due in September so i know training is going to get a bit messed up.

Will just look to do a 2 day split and a few cardio sessions on the bike at home and see how it goes

got a girl 2 years and another due august.gonna carry on training through.gyms open till 10pm be able to get an hour here and there
